Fijileaks:
* In our view this is a minor offence and probably has more to do with professional jealousies amongst accountants
* We wonder whether some accountants in SODELPA were behind NFP leader Biman Prasad's suspension - given their overtly racist crusade to strip him as chair of Public Accounts Committee?
* The question to ask is whether the audit was carried out in a manner that met basic accounting and auditing standards;
* Whether all the material disclosures regarding the Party’s accounts have been properly disclosed/
* Whether the accounts met IFRS and GAAP standards?
* The fact that the accounting firm was not registered is not NFP’s fault. It is the firm’s responsibility to present themselves to potential customers as being fit and proper to undertake the audit, and fit and proper includes being registered under the required laws in Fiji
* How many institutions ask auditing firms if they are licensed to operate in Fiji before they engaged them?

ONE DECREE FOR FFP AND ANOTHER DECREE FOR NFP AND OTHERS:
"I have last night (Wednesday) submitted the withdrawal of my name as the vice-president of the proposed Fiji First Party to the proposed leader and to the proposed general secretary...I have done so because when I accepted the position, I did not disclose the fact that over 30 years ago, I was convicted on a criminal charge and served a prison term. I did not disclose this information because of the fact that it was over 30 years ago and that under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Irrelevant Convictions Act 1997, records after 10 years are expunged. Bijai Prasad, the then proposed Vice-President of FFP, in a press conference in Nadi, 8 May 2014, which was also attended by the "Attorney-General, Minister for Elections" and proposed FFP general secretary Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum
Meanwhile, WHERE WAS THE FIJI INSTITUTE OF ACCOUNTANTS WHEN ALL REGIME ACCOUNTING JOBS WENT TO ONLY ONE ACCOUNTANT - KHAYIUM'S AUNTY NUR BANO ALI - AND WHERE WAS FIA FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS WHEN KHAIYUM WAS HIDING THE DAMNING A-G'S REPORTS!

And what about this ACCOUNTANT who is yet to be brought to TRIAL?
Let us not forget Frank Bainimarama who used conman PETER FOSTER to gather "evidence of corruption" against SDL before the 2006 coup!

SHORT MEMORY:
Remember Aiyaz Sayed Khaiyum had selected this man - Bijai Prasad - as a Vice-President of the then proposed FijiFirstParty - he had criminal conviction; when Fijileaks exposed Prasad's past criminal conviction both Khaiyum and Saneem tried to fob it off but in the end Prasad was forced to resign; NFP can't be held responsible for the status of the accountancy firm if FIA, FRCA, Saneem, and other bodies never bothered to inspect if it was registered with FIA under Khaiyum's decree!
